  4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the cheese bubbles, 10-15 minutes

    A suggested starch on the side would have been helpful to make a meal not just for diabetics but for the whole family. Double the recipe, the current portions are a bit small for a meal that you can pretty much eat as much as you want without running your sugar up.

    This was surprisingly great! Definitely be liberal with the seasonings though—I added some red pepper flakes and Cajun seasoning for color and heat. I bulked up the veggie count with 12 oz of chopped fresh green beans, and it was really nice. Also don’t be afraid to use half and half instead of heavy cream if that’s what you have on hand. It worked just fine!

    Would taste better with broccoli instead and maybe even bacon added.
